Coming off a 22-17 preseason loss to the New England Patriots last week, the Tennessee Titans head into the third week of the preseason looking to bounce back
The next contest will be against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have won both of their first two preseason games this year. Kickoff is set for 7:00 p.m. CT on Sunday in Nissan Stadium.
Here are a few Titans players to turn your attention to this weekend.
1. WR A.J. Brown
The highly touted receiver didn’t manage a single reception against the Patriots in last week’s preseason game, but could make an impact this week. Brown was impressive before being sidelined early on in camp, and could become a favorite target of Mariota’s in the future depending upon his performances moving forward.
2. DT Isaiah Mack
Mack, one of the most promising rookies on Tennessee’s roster this year, was quite the force on defense in Week 2 of the preseason.
One of his best plays came late in the game on a sack for a loss of eight yards that made it 3rd down and 12 for the Patriots, who punted the football shortly after.
Mack finished that contest with one tackle, three assists and a sack. He’ll look to keep the momentum moving on Sunday evening.
3. RB Jeremy McNichols
McNichols may be a darkhorse candidate to make his way onto the final 53-man roster, but he’s done about as well as he possibly could have midway through the preseason.
He made an impact both on the ground and in the air last week, carrying six times for 13 yards and reeling in three receptions for 24 yards and an acrobatic touchdown.
McNichols is expected to only continue raising the bar for himself in the last two games before the regular season.
